Don't be intimidated by going over the gap. All sizes of rigs go thru it, from class A's to 5ers to pop ups. Granted, it will give you a workout but the road is wide enough, the tunnels are tall enough, and that circle sign in the pik earlier in this thread is no biggie. It sweeps plenty wide around so it isn't an issue. Its 28 mi. from Gatlinburg to Cherokee, going around adds quite a few miles and time. The only thing in Cherokee is the Harras casino and a bunch of hoakie indian "trading posts". The Cherokee heritage museum there is the only thing authentic about the Cherokee culture and worth a tour. Enjoy your stay here.
